VMIA Government Program
The Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) was established on 1 October 1996, under the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority Act 1996 (the Act).
The functions of the VMIA are to:
- assist State Government departments and participating bodies (as defined under the Act) to establish programs for the identification, quantification and management of risks;
- monitor risk management by departments and participating bodies;
- act as an insurer for, or provide insurance services to, departments and participating bodies;
- provide indemnities to persons who are or have been officers of a State company or statutory authority, against liabilities that by law may attach to those persons as such officers or former officers; and
- provide risk management advice to the State and to provide risk management advice and training to departments and participating bodies.
VMIA has an insurance facility to providers of resources during Eligible Emergencies. This website contains information about the initiative EmRePSS including a summary, list of tasking agencies, schedules and policy wordings.
